Safe. Efficient. Effective. Proven.

Exercise can be a physically and a mentally demanding process. Training with PWC focuses on you as an individual and will assist you with any training queries or hang ups you may have. Aspects such as lifestyle, diet, medical conditions, ability level and time constraints are just some of the many factors that make you unique. Every new client receives a Complimentary detailed; no obligation health, fitness and lifestyle consultation, where goals are discussed and training sessions are explained. From this information, the team will develop a training program that is specific and ideally suited to you. We combine safe and effective workouts to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible, with regular changes to your program, which ensures your training never gets stale and you always continue to make progress towards your goal.


Strength Training Protocol
Our Exercise Protocol is a safe, efficient and effective workout in which clients give their maximum effort in minimal time. The cornerstone of the protocol is the low impact speed of motion and bio-mechanically correct movements. Clients complete approximately two to three minutes on the equipment until they reach momentary muscle failure. Our full-body workouts last approximately 30 minutes and you are only required to complete one or two sessions per week – allowing the body to properly recover.

The Biology
Between the ages of 20 and 50 the average individual loses approximately 15 pounds of muscle and gains over 45 pounds of fat (for a net gain of 30 pounds) as a result of the decrease in metabolism associated with muscle loss. Strength training can quickly and safely stimulate the body to produce additional muscle tissue and improvements in cardiovascular and other support systems. In addition to improved strength and endurance, regaining or building muscle tissue also increases metabolism, and improves body shape, bone density, cardiovascular efficiency, and joint stability. It is important to note that training is the stimulus, and the physical improvements are produced by the body as a response to that stimulus. The human body is an economical organism, which resists change unless stimulated by a demand exceeding its current ability. Intense exercise quickly fatigues the working muscles, and therefore must be brief. As intensity increases, so does the stimulus, and the larger the stimulus, the greater and longer lasting the results.

The Environment

All of our workouts are performed in a clinically controlled environment. One of the last defenses for the body to stay cool is to sweat. We try to avoid over-heating by keeping the studio at a cool 65-68 degrees with fans blowing to optimize ventilation, encouraging maximum intensity, and eliminating the need for a shower after the session . The studio is free from distraction by eliminating noise, mirrors and socialization. You will not hear music or see mirrors in our studio. Even more, you will not see socialization happening in the studio. Extreme concentration is needed to perform our protocol. You are one in mind and body while exercising in our studio allowing yourself to gain maximum benefit from your session.

The Results
The results can improve your life, reshape your body and increase your daily functionality. Some of the direct results may be:
• Improved cardiovascular fitness and overall health

Individual strength sessions are the optimal experience. You will achieve the fastest and best results from these sessions.
